Millionaires with a Mission

Connected to the Great Commission

What is Club 52?

Club 52 is an elite group of business people and aspiring entrepreneurs that have chosen to connect their wealth with the Great Commission. You can become a member by attending a Club 52 or Dave Williams Wealthy Place Event.

Filled with warmhearted wisdom, Club 52 is a fresh, fun, and practical approach to discovering how to achieve your next level of financial security and how to fund the future of your dreams.

With greater wealth we can help missionaries more. We can build churches. We can live debt-free and do more if God is working with us.

Define Wealthy:

Having wealth; having large possessions, or more than most men, as lands, goods, money, or securities; opulent; affluent; rich.

Hence, ample; full; satisfactory; abundant. (R.)

About Club 52

An unusual thing happened to me a few years ago. I was on my boat on a warm September day, anchored off a small island, worshipping God. I had only my Bible, a note pad, and some water and bread (I always carry bread in case the swans swim up to the boat, I feed them).

Suddenly, it was as if Jesus walked up to my boat and asked me a question. “David, will you help me raise up 52 new millionaires in the church?”

“Are you kidding me,” I thought, “I don’t know how to do that.” Again, “David, will you help me raise up 52 new millionaires in the church?” “Lord, you can do it, but I cannot. I don’t know how.”

“Throw some bread in the water,” I thought I heard the Lord say. So I did. Instantly, there were birds everywhere! I tried to count them, but I couldn’t. As near as I could figure there were 50 birds or more.

“Okay, Lord, I’ll do it if you show me how,” I breathed softly to the Lord.

Later I told my wife Mary Jo about this experience. The next week she wanted me to take her to the spot where I thought I heard from the Lord. So we boarded the boat, cast off, and headed for my “prayer island.” We came to the approximate spot and I dropped the anchor.

“It feels so holy here,” Mary Jo whispered. “Give me some bread.” I gave her some bread and she threw it into the water. Nothing. Again, she threw some bread on the other side of the boat. Nothing. Still again, she threw some bread in front of the boat. Nothing.I then took the bread and threw a small piece overboard.

Instantly, there were birds everywhere. I didn’t know where they all had come from. This time I could count them: 11 at the bow, 14 at the stern, 12 on the port side, and 13 at the starboard side … 50 birds in all. (I thought maybe there would be 52, but there were only 50.) Just then I looked, and there appeared two beautiful swans swimming up to the side of our boat. They were huge, much larger than the other birds. But the two swans made exactly 52 birds!

I sort of felt like this was a sign from God that 50 new millionaires and 2 new multi-millionaires would be raised up in the church.

I have such a heart for missions and reaching the lost, I knew that if these people would use their wealth for the Kingdom of God, we could achieve wonderful things, God working with us.

Where do I start, I wondered?

So, I started on my knees and in God’s Word. He began to give me instructions step by step. It’s amazing walking with God. It’s not about money; it’s about obedience.

I didn’t want to be called one of those money-type preachers. Yet I said, “Yes, Jesus, if you’ll show me how.”

First, we have to quit criticizing people with wealth. We have to start understanding them and how they think.

I started meeting millionaires and multi-millionaires. I asked them questions and wrote down their answers. I called in every godly millionaire I know and asked them to help me by being mentors for those God is calling to the ministry of wealth. I was amazed at their eagerness to impart and their willingness to invest time in people to help them in their businesses, franchises, real estate, and other investments.

Every millionaire I asked to help said they’d love to make an investment in others because they knew the Lord would bless them back more. Every millionaire I talked to seemed to have a grip on the seed/harvest principle. “You only get a harvest when you first plant the seed.”

Here is a rule people with abundance follow: “If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got!” Club 52 is for those are for those who dare to step out of the ordinary and into the realm of the unusual and extraordinary.

Believe it or Not

A plain bar of steel as it sits is worth ~ $5.

Made into horseshoes for a thoroughbred ~ $50.

Made into needles for medicine ~$500.

Made into springs for Swiss watches ~ $5,000.

The difference is in what was done with the raw material. What are you doing with what God has given you? Research shows the greatest fear people face is having lived a meaningless life. The Word of God, the Lord Jesus, and a vibrant Spirit-filled community changes all of that!

“…The amassing of wealth is one of the worst species of idolatry! No idol is more debasing than the worship of money! Whatever I engage in I must push inordinately; therefore should I be careful to choose that life which will be the most elevating in its character.”
